Early release of convicted rapist Max Factor heir Andrew Luster sparks outrage in Glendora

One day after Alberta voters rejected the idea of pursuing separation from Canada, Premier Danielle Smith said the turnout was a historic and a powerful testimony of the passion Albertans feel for the country and province. “Yesterday, Albertans made their choice. Today, we begin the next chapter,” the premier said in a speech that was broadcast Tuesday night during airtime paid for by the Alberta government. “Let us move forward not as a people divided by how we voted yesterday, but as neighbours, friends, Albertans and Canadians. Let us treat one another with respect and compassion. Let us stand proudly for this province.”The outcome of the referendum‘s separatism question mirrors more than half a year of polling, which since the beginning of 2026 consistently showed about 70 per cent of Albertans wanted the province to remain in Canada.

KANKAKEE, Ill. (WLS) -- Illinois' 2nd Congressional District is diverse in many ways. It runs south from Chicago's South Side through the south suburbs to Kankakee and to Danville. It has been represented by Democrat Robin Kelly since 2012, but she left office for an unsuccessful run for Senate. ABC7 Chicago is now streaming 24/7.

Democrat Donna Miller won the primary, beating candidates including Jesse Jackson Jr., who previously represented the district. She is a Cook County commissioner and a former healthcare executive. "Experience matters and being able to get things done matter. I think knowing how government works is important," Miller said. Miller lives in the south suburbs and shares that her family history goes back to a small family farm in Champaign County. "We have a competitive farm industry here in Illinois, and they should be competing not only here within the United States, but even on a global level," Miller said. Republican Mike Noack lives in a small town, west of Kankakee.
